So I guess "trap" is another "genre" of "music" black people like?
It is some type of hiphop. I swear, since at least the 2000s back that people insist on inventing new music genres over the smallest of differences. So many unnecessary "cores".
From what I gather, it's more of a region thing. Like you have "drill" from Chicago and "trap" from Atlanta. There are some differences but just tossing a blanket label on it shows "oh, this dude is from this place" And, if Biggie and Tupac taught us anything, it's that rap is pretty serious about location.
Bit like “identities”/racial “mixes” they claim to be/“sexualities”, then, no..? 🤔
The pattern holds! 🤷🏻♂️
It just sounds like dubstep to me, but what would I know?
Oh, you must have gotten a trapstep song instead of "pure" trap music, it's another genre entirely!
...I THINK I'm kidding, but honestly, who knows at this point?
Trap is an electronic genre. Most of it I've ever heard doesn't have rapping in it, and actually a lot of it is instrumental.
